non stick surface on running boards
Yahoo Message Number: 117697
There was a discussion a while ago about what to use to restore the non skid surface at the cab doors. George decided to paint over the missing original surface with flat black rustoleum. He was painting the retractable step and had a lot of paint left over. It turned out to be a perfect fix! The grit was still there but the original black paint or whatever the factory used had been worn off. Now the running boards are black again and just as "gritty" as they were before the new paint. This is on a 1989 TK so I guess the grit is indestructible ;-)

I have used the same thing and it worked well.

I bought a can of spray-on truck bed liner to do my step and running boards with!   I had enough leftover to do the rungs of the ladder, too.
 I just cleaned with acetone, then alcohol, and when dry - sprayed the areas.  After using painter's tape to mask off the vehicle.....

It worked great!
